Was Trump a draft-dodger?

Trump has already said he wouldn't commit ground troops in the middle east....unlike Hillary who said she was willing to shoot down Russian aircraft if they or any other violated a no fly rule over Syria.

How many issues has Trump changed his mind on already? Trump isn't in office yet.He could change his mind in a few months, few years or not at all.None of us know. The idea that we can predict if Trump will or will not lead us into a ground war is absurd.

I don't think Trump has changed his mind on committing troops in Syria. If he has please post a link.

He has changed his mind on a **** load of other issues.Why is this issue different than those other issues?

Historically, the US is a nation with a history of war, so I vote YES. Trump will not actively pursue diplomatic solutions at all.

If he is as much a lackey for the GOP as he appears, then I assume he will lead us into a ground war with strident Congressional Republican encouragement.

Direct quotes from Stern interview:

Draft-Dodger Trump Said Sleeping Around Was My ?Personal Vietnam? - The Daily Beast

Wow, it just keeps on coming with this guy. From your link...

When Trump had his chance to join the military and fight in Vietnam, he did not take it. Instead, the rich kid got multiple student deferments from the draft and a medical deferment. Meanwhile, men like John McCain were being tortured as prisoners of war, but Trump has said that is dishonorable. ’
“He’s not a war hero,” Trump said of McCain last year. “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured, OK?”
